"Your Grandfather really used to say that?"

He really was a great old guy. Born in a sod hut in 1881 career soldier; joined up and fought in Cuba in the Spanish American War, was with Pershing in Mexico and in WWI. There is not a day goes by that I don't still miss him.

It's hard to find true individuals in our society anymore. There was a time when you could say "He was the kind of person who..." and finely paint a word picture of that person. Or "he was like...", the same thing, a word picture.

We've been so "grouped" as people and taught group-think that it is hard to see or be seen as one out of the group they're assigned to. Or, in many cases, gladly and willingly join in order to escape their very individualism. That's a shame. There is still a lot of individualism, but groups feel they MUST put those individuals into a group in order to make themselves feel more secure. There is safety in numbers, you know, we are told that all the time.

Our Grandparents. That was the last age of true individualism for society. IMHO
